INSS 2006 provides a unique and interactive environment to bring
together researchers from the backgrounds of sensor technology,
wireless networking and application of wireless sensor networking.
This conference is the first after a series of annual workshop
meetings with a highly selective single-track technical program. Its
aim is to provide a platform where researchers from academia and
industry come together to discuss and address technical problems and
solutions in these research areas.
We see that rapid technology advancements in miniature sensors, low
power micro- electronics, wireless communication and network have
brought researchers from various fields to develop an emerging
multidisciplinary of networked sensor systems and applications. Such
technology is expected to change the way how information is
generated, processed, and communicated based on a large number of
sensor nodes deployed for a specific application.
Addressing these critical issues requires researchers from various
disciplines to communicate effectively and collaborate together. The
International Conference on Networked Sensing Systems invites
outstanding research papers from the field of sensor technology,
wireless networking or application of networked sensor systems. The
conference especially encourages submissions that are suitable and
should be of interest for the researchers from all three fields.
June is a busy time in Chicago in the sensors world. Following INSS
2006 is the Sensors Expo & Conference, June 6-8, 2006. Sensors Expo
is a leading sensors event in North America, featuring a conference
program exploring the most up-to-date innovations in sensor
technology including physical sensors, sensor networks, biosensors,
MEMS/Nanotechnology, instrumentation and controls, intelligent
systems, machine-to-machine communication, wireless sensing and IT
technology. Combined with a showcase of hundred of products and
services, it is an event worth placing on your schedule. Please visit
our web-site for the link to Sensors Expo 2006. INSS 2006 attendees
will receive a registration discount to Sensors Expo 2006.
Topics include but are not limited to:
1. Sensors Materials and Fabrication (new materials, smart
structures, MEMS and Nano fabrication technologies, sensors and
sensor system packaging)
2. Sensor Phenomena and Modeling (sensor
operation theory, characterization, CAD design and modeling)
3.
Sensors (physical, mechanical, chemical, biological, optical sensors
and actuators at micro and nano scales)
4. Sensing Systems (wireless sensor system architecture, sensor-based
system-on-chip design, multiple-sensor array and system, intelligent
sensing, integration of sensors and microelectronics, low power
sensor interface electronics design, sensor system packaging and
environmental compatibility, environmental energy harvesting, sensor
system design trade-offs and techniques, bio-implantable sensor
networks, data acquisition, telemetry, wakeup radio, system
integration, process and cost of manufacturing, energy scavenging and
RF-ID tags)
5. Communication protocols (MAC and link layer problems,
routing and transport protocols tailored for networked sensor system,
redundancy, data aggregation, and mobility support; gateways to fixed
Internet)
6. Middleware (Configuration and installation support, service
discovery, distributed algorithms in WSN, harmonizing node-centric
and data-centric addressing, sensor calibration, localization and
synchronization)
7. Security (primitives for appropriate
cryptographic protocols, secure system engineering)
8. Applications
(wireless environmental monitoring, harsh environment sensing,
transportation, automotive, aeronautical and space sensor systems,
bio-robotics sensing and communication, homeland security, military,
civil and industrial infra-structures safety, intelligent biomedical
and improved healthcare system, ubiquitous computing with networked
sensing)
9. Prototypes, field studies, and testbeds (novel sensor node
prototypes, measurements within sensor network testbeds)
[PAPER SUBMISSION]
INSS 2006 invites the submission of both regular and late-breaking
result papers. Regular papers must be 4-8-page two-column papers long
and include an abstract of 100 - 150 words. Late-breaking result
papers must be no more than 4 two-column pages long and include an
abstract of 100-150 words.
INSS 2006 is seeking papers interesting to the interdisciplinary
community represented at the conference. Papers will be evaluated on
the basis of originality, significance of the contribution to the
field, technical correctness and presentation. Papers will be
peer-reviewed. Papers submitted must not be under simultaneous review
for any other conference, journal, workshop or other publication.
Papers should be formatted according to IEEE transaction format
(http://www.ieee.org/organizations/pubs/transactions/stylesheets.htm).
Accepted papers will be included in the conference proceedings.
Authors are required to attend the conference to present their work.
All paper submissions will be handled electronically by the EDAS
system. Note that submission is a two-stage process - authors need to
register their paper first and then submit the final manuscript.
Submissions must be in Adobe PDF format and conform to the guidelines
specified in the call for papers.
Authors without EDAS user names will be required to register with the
system using the same link as above. Reviewers will be instructed to
maintain the confidentiality of all materials for submitted papers
throughout the entire reviewing process. Submissions should contain
no information that will be proprietary or confidential at the time
of publication.
